Jira Align is a platform purpose-built for enterprises to connect strategy with execution and drive transparency, consistency, and predictability at all levels of scale. The platform supports business value delivery in agile frameworks such as LeSS, DAD, and SAFe. It also caters to organizations that mix agile with waterfall to support scaled bimodal delivery.Starting with an introduction to the platform and its features, this book takes you through the foundational building blocks of Jira Align. You’ll learn how an organization can benefit from implementing Jira Align and understand how to connect dimensions such as people, work, time, and outcomes. The book takes you through the typical steps for implementing Jira Align for maximizing outcomes and helps you solve common team, program, and portfolio-level challenges by enhancing visibility, tracking dependencies and risks, and using reports for real-time, distributed decision making. Throughout the book, you’ll explore features such as remote agile ceremonies, live roadmaps, and objectives and key results (OKRs). You’ll also get to grips with lean portfolio management, financial reporting, and using the program board for planning and execution.By the end of this book, you’ll be well versed in the key features of Jira Align and be able to leverage them to support all levels of agile at scale.

Scaled Scrum and Lean-Agile practices provide essential strategies to address large and complex product development challenges not addressed in traditional Scrum. This Scrum/ Lean-Agile handbook provides a comprehensive review and analysis of industry-proven scaling strategies that enable business agility on an enterprise scale. Free of marketing hype or vendor bias, this book helps you decide which practices best fit your situation.You'll start with an introduction to Scrum as a lightweight software development framework and then explore common approaches to scaling it for more complex development scenarios. The book will then guide you through systems theory, lean development, and the application of holistic thinking to more complex software and system development activities. Throughout, you'll learn how to support multiple teams working in collaboration to develop large and complex products and explore how to manage cross-team integration, dependency, and synchronization issues. Later, you'll learn how to improve enterprise operational efficiency across value creation and value delivery activities, before discovering how to align product portfolio investments with corporate strategies.By the end of this Scrum book, you and your product teams will be able to get the most value out of Agile at scale, even in complex cyber-physical system development environments.

Eine unvergessliche Leidenschaft, die sich im Herzen Afrikas entspinnt. Eine zerbrechliche Liebe, die von Geheimnissen und Betrug gefährdet wird. Coral Sinclair, eine schöne, aber naive junge Fotografin, erfährt innerhalb weniger Tage nach der Absage ihrer Hochzeit, dass sie ihren Vater verloren hat. Sie verlässt ihr Leben in England und reist nach Kenia, um ihr Erbe anzutreten Mpingo, die Plantage, auf der sie ihre Kindheit verbrachte. Auf der Schiffsreise trifft Coral einen charismatischen Fremden, dessen mysteriöse Anziehungskraft sie bis ins Mark erschüttert. Später findet sie seine Identität heraus und wird gewarnt, diesem Mann nicht zu vertrauen. Rafe de Monfort, Besitzer eines Nachtclubs und der benachbarten Plantage, ist nicht nur ein berüchtigter Frauenheld seine Affäre mit Corals Stiefmutter hat möglicherweise zum Tod ihres Vaters beigetragen. Zumindest besagen dies die Gerüchte. Während Coral der unbestreitbaren Chemie zwischen ihr und Rafe verfällt, blüht in der exotischen, gefährlichen Wildnis Afrikas eine vorsichtige Romanze auf. Aber als Coral sich mit Rafes Vergangenheit befasst, hinterfragt sie seine wahren Motive. Ist dieser berütigte Mann nur hinter ihrem Erbe her? Oder stecken Rafes geheime Qualen hinter jeder Handlung und machen ihn verletzlicher, als Coral es sich jemals vorstellen könnte?

Scala is a statically typed, Java Virtual Machine (JVM)-based language with strong support for functional programming. There exist libraries for Scala that cover a range of common scientific computing tasks – from linear algebra and numerical algorithms to convenient and safe parallelization to powerful plotting facilities. Learning to use these to perform common scientific tasks will allow you to write programs that are both fast and easy to write and maintain.We will start by discussing the advantages of using Scala over other scientific computing platforms. You will discover Scala packages that provide the functionality you have come to expect when writing scientific software. We will explore using Scala's Breeze library for linear algebra, optimization, and signal processing. We will then proceed to the Saddle library for data analysis. If you have experience in R or with Python's popular pandas library you will learn how to translate those skills to Saddle. If you are new to data analysis, you will learn basic concepts of Saddle as well. Well will explore the numerical computing environment called ScalaLab. It comes bundled with a lot of scientific software readily available. We will use it for interactive computing, data analysis, and visualization. In the following chapters, we will explore using Scala's powerful parallel collections for safe and convenient parallel programming. Topics such as the Akka concurrency framework will be covered. Finally, you will learn about multivariate data visualization and how to produce professional-looking plots in Scala easily. After reading the book, you should have more than enough information on how to start using Scala as your scientific computing platform
